The Beginning of Black and Grey Tattooing

It is interesting to know that black and grey tattoos, which nowadays are a standard of classic and aesthetic designs, were applicable only in prisons many years ago. And why people created designs in this style in prisons is quite simple. There, they had very limited time to get tattoos. In addition, there were no appropriate technical means for tattooing. Under such conditions, naturally, they could not create images rich in details and colours.

Since the 1970s, the idea of ​​these tattoos has penetrated the world outside the prison walls. And today these tattoos are among the most preferred designs in every tattoo salon.
